So does WG13.  If you could have seen or heard all the discussions you
would know that they are not easy things to nail down or decide how to 
handle.

The draft has exceptions and exception handling proposed for ISO M-2.  There 
is a LOT of impact on the language some folk once called Modula-2.

Whether the world will like the proposals remains to be seen.

Let's spare Oberon, at any rate!
